The £52 million summer signing struggled to keep up as Kamaldeen darted past him, nearly capping off the move with a brilliant solo goal.

The 22-year-old's contribution extended beyond this highlight.

He completed five of six dribble attempts, dominated seven ground duels, and earned a 7.2 Sofascore rating, underscoring his influence on the game.

Technical take on Sulemana's explosive display

Kamaldeen’s performance highlighted his ability to stretch defences and create opportunities from wide areas, traits that will be pivotal for Southampton’s campaign.

The winger’s pace, close control, and creativity in one-on-one situations can unlock stubborn defences, though the Saints must address their defensive lapses to complement such attacking talent.

While Kamaldeen shone individually, the Saints endured a crushing defeat.

An own goal by Manuel Ugarte handed the Saints an early advantage, but United’s resilience turned the tide.

Amad Diallo spearheaded a dramatic comeback, scoring three times in the final stages—striking in the 82nd, 90th, and 94th minutes—to secure a 3-1 victory for the hosts, as noted by talkSPORT.
